Short overview of the map's history

De_inferno was first introduced in Counter-Strike 1.1. Due to many interesting spots for skirmishes, its popularity had been growing since 2001, until it acquired the status of the most popular CS maps, though the developers changed it a bit in every new version of the shooter. In Counter-Strike 1.6de_inferno was the top competitive map. However, a slightly changed version of the map from CS: Source got to CS:GO (it was then developed by Hidden Path Entertainment). Valve and Hidden Path Entertainment developers added a couple of new visual elements and removed the spots, which enabled long term campering for the players. That's how it entered to CS:GO, eventually the chickens were added in the streets.
